On the Liip blog there's a recent post talking about an upcoming PHP-related conference happening in Corropoll, Italy - phpDay.

More than any year this May is packed with exciting web conferences all around Europe and this year's Italian phpDay conference promises to be one of them. From May 13th to 15th the Italian PHP user group (GrUSP) will host the phpDay conference in the lovely town of Corropoli on the adriatic coast.

This year's event is focusing more on quality assurance and helping developers write better code. The author Memi Beltrame will be presenting a talk on how to handle projects when they get to a larger size than the average and some strategies of how to deal with them. Other speakers include Kore Nordmann, Fabien Potencier and Felix de Vliegher.

You can find out more about the event, happening May 13th through 15th, from the phpDay website.

Francesco Fullone let us know that the Call for Papers for this year's Italian PHPDay event is now officially open!
